WO SHOTS AT WALES TARIFF PLANK DEMANDS REVISION DEWEY A DEMOCRAT. Tell Keporter So at Philadelphia Prove a Good "Fencer."

SPIRIT OK CANADA. iill.ert Parker' Kxplanatiou oT the Do minion's I.oyut Action. London, April . The Morning Post publishes au interview with Gilbert Parker on Canada's martial spirit In reference to South Africa. Parker argues that the recent display of loyalty in Canada was not au "out burst" as it is generally called, but the ' Inevitable result of Canada's growth into a nation. Her position has compelled her to provide for the defense of her own border, because iu tlie event of war it would be impossible for Croat Britain to help her, at least in the in tkal stages, and the Canadians have al ways anticipated a war, either for the defense of their owu shores and bor ders or for the defense of the empire. "The development of the federation which culminated in the election of Sir "Wilfrid Laurior has been, therefore, synchronous with military develop ment, until Canada now possesses a sound militia establishment of 3o,000. Canadians are askhiir. if it has lipen practicable to fuse English and French Canadians under a French premier, why it is not possible to amalgamate the British and Dutch in South Africa iu the same way, the I'.ritish and Dutch temperaments being closer and there being no religious bar. "I feel sure that something more in the direction of a federation of the em pire will come out of the present situa tion than the mere hoisting of the union Jack at Pretoria. What direc tion the union will take is a matter of serious speculation, but - some such eloper union, I believe. Is In the mind of every Canadian and every Austra lian. I have a feeling that three years bene the minister of war, sitting in Pall Mall, will be able to put his fin ger on Toronto, Vancouver. Halifax, Sydney. Melbourne, Brisbane and Ade laide with as full knowledge of their military possibilities as he is now able to do with Newcastle or Manchester." WALKS AT COPENHAGEN-.

DIGGING FOR BURIED TREASURE So Far None of It Has Materialized for the Diggers. Grand Haven, Mich., April 6. Strangei and mysterious things are transpiring in Grand Hawen all the time. The spirit of mystery seems to be fairly a part of us.

Some day an Irving will grow up amongst us, and then the romance of this region will be properly told in song and story. For years it has been g-enerally be lieved that a large amount of money in gold coin has been buried in one of the lake shore hills at Grand Haven.
